Your Guide to Canada's Best B n B

Day: September 1, 2017

Have you ever considered going on a biking expedition, probably you and your best friend? Biking is something that has numerous benefits in our lives aside from the fact that it can be enjoyed. That is the reason that I suggest you take a bed, breakfast and biking expedition one of these fine weekends. It could be done in the city, but would better be enjoyed outside the city where there is plenty of space and fresh air. That is the reason why you would probably want to depart the city in the evening, book yourself into a motel for a bed and breakfast, and then first thing after breakfast, take off for your biking expedition. You would probably ask the motel to pack for you picnic lunches if there won’t be any restaurants along the route you’re taking. You would also need to have plenty of water to hydrate. You’re probably wondering why I would recommend that you do all of this, and that is the reason why I’m going to give you some of the advantages of cycling.

Congestion

Bikes are known to ease the congestion in the cities and towns. They move slower than vehicles but their ability to move faster than vehicles during traffic is better. They are small and 100% utilized, unlike vehicles, where you can find one person driving in a car that is meant for five or seven. At the end of the journey, you’ll also find that bicycles use very little storage, 1/10 of what vehicles use.

Health Savings

Obesity has been associated with a huge expansion of the waist, and it has become an epidemic, taking a huge chunk of the budget. Over the past two decades, in Australia, the number of obese adults has doubled. One of the best ways of addressing the obesity issue is by cycling since cycling is a form of exercise that can improve on health and fitness. This makes it more than just an enjoyable pastime for the whole family.

Natural Environment

The natural environment is one of the things that benefit the most from cycling. This is because bicycles are clean energy vehicles that do not have any emissions, and besides, manufacturing them uses very little materials. Vehicles that have emissions are some of the causes of climate change and fuel related pollution.

Safety

There are many dangers that people face on the roads every day, whether they are walking, cycling or driving. The number of people that are being killed due to road accidents every year is alarming. When we look at it closely, you’ll find that the majority of people that were killed due to rad related accidents were due to vehicle accidents. Bicycles barely record any deaths and there are very few injuries, and this makes them the safer option of transport. One of the reasons is because bicycle use is not a very common practice, and there is better infrastructure catering for cyclists and pedestrians.

Social Equity

Bicycles are things that offer something to everyone, from the rich and affluent that wants to do a lap around the park on their expensive bikes, or those that can afford the cheapest ones. They tend to appeal to everyone, and this is very visible in children. When bought bicycles, they no longer have to rely on their parents to travel on places that they could not do on foot. This is especially good in today’s world, where children would rather sit behind a computer or smartphone, since it improves their health, and helps them to develop independence and self-esteem.
